Description

We discuss some interesting recent cases out of the California Court of Appeal:

• Arbitration clauses may include an agreement to make the award reviewable on appeal. We discuss a recent case that shows how.
• Can a judge just stay a money judgment?
• What to do if the appellate court issues a tentative opinion.
• When an amended order suspends the right to appeal from the original order.

Then we discuss the “Eisenberg rule,” and a survey that explains why lawyers still use legalese.
